Which forums do you like? I like PhpBB the most because its free!

**Ikonic** · 05-31-2006, 09:21 AM

Hanks,

I choose vBulletin, you can't compare it to another other ones out there. I really like vBulletin simple plug-in system. No code modifications have to be changed or the hassle of uninstalling.

VBulletin by far, if you're serious about your forum site, that's the only way to go for me!

I disagree .. I run vB on 4 sites, and decided to try smf for the new one. I know it wasn't in the choices on the poll.. but I gotta say SMF is dang good. Its missing a few things I am use to with vb admin wise, but very good IMHO. Just because I went with it, does not mean I am not serious about my sites. It means I found another piece of software that works just as well.

I use IPB for all my forums and I am really happy with it. But I must say I vBulletin rocks too.

vBulletin has to be my forum software of choice, although SMF and MyBB provide some very nice free alternatives

**xnontas** · 09-24-2006, 11:06 AM

Well, i think we can't compare the free forum softwares with the paid one.
From the ones listes, i like ipb a lot!

**mbx5nitro** · 09-24-2006, 12:38 PM

I chose IPB because their ACP is wonderful and the way you edit skins is much easyer. There are a lot of things i like.

I like vB too. (i own both) It has great features and the way you dont have to edit your skins after every update is nice too. I just think their ACP could be redesigned to make it more user friendly

**MK3Design** · 09-24-2006, 12:54 PM

You really cant beat vB, yet

**SteveAR** · 09-24-2006, 01:09 PM

VB is the best in my eyes

**D.J.** · 09-24-2006, 02:14 PM

The new phpbb3 looks very promising. Otherwise I have two phpBB forums, but still thinking what to do in the future ...

**Sygon** · 09-25-2006, 03:24 PM

vBulletin for the win

**007** · 09-25-2006, 04:00 PM

vBulletin by far. There isn't anything that even comes close to matching it in functionality and security. It is by far the best forum software on the market right now. Why do you think EF uses it, along with most other huge forums?

**hav0k** · 09-25-2006, 04:24 PM

VB all the way... nothing comes close to security and support!

**imported_Tom** · 09-25-2006, 11:44 PM

Tried phpbb. hacked.
smf. ugly
vbulletin finally

**cpr** · 10-02-2006, 09:38 AM

vBulletin all the way

**SiteTutor** · 10-02-2006, 11:05 AM

I recommend vb highly, but if you are a cheapskate, SMF seems to be the best option

**gorx** · 10-02-2006, 05:36 PM

Vbulletin simply because of the choice!

**menace-** · 10-05-2006, 08:34 PM

I've only ever used PHPBB, thats because it's free, however i'm signed up on many vB boards and I do like its features.

I also gave ekinboard a bit of a go too, i'm just a fan of the underdogs though!

**Moelman** · 10-05-2006, 08:39 PM

I definitely like vbulletin the best. Invision's not bad though.
